Monday morning, Leo's phone buzzed. The familiar female system voice chimed:

A World Behind the Screen
Equipped with his new skill:
> 🧠 Skill Unlocked: Quantum Encryption Breaker (Level 1)
🧠 Skill Unlocked: Digital Cloak (Basic)
🧠 Skill Unlocked: Data Extraction Protocols
Leo quickly set up a covert workstation in a rented cafe with public Wi-Fi.
The target: Xinrui Corp, a conglomerate known for shady deals, whose CEO had recently cheated hundreds of employees out of bonuses.

The Hack Begins
Leo's fingers flew across the keyboard, his mind syncing with the system's digital interface.
Firewalls melted. Security protocols faltered.
Yet Xinrui Corp's countermeasures were fierce.
Suddenly, a warning popped up:
> Intrusion detected. Trace program activated.
Leo activated his Digital Cloak — his digital footprint vanished like smoke.
Minutes stretched into hours. The system whispered tips, guiding his moves like a ghost in the machine.

Unearthing the Truth
Finally, Leo found the hidden folder labeled "Operation Blackout" — files containing proof of fraudulent accounting, bribes, and forged contracts.
> 📂 Files copied to secure drive.
✅ Task Progress: 80%
But just as he was about to finish, a digital face appeared on his screen.
> "You're clever… but not clever enough."
A counter-hacker challenged him—a black-hat cyber mercenary hired by Xinrui.
